i scoundrel Shot Dead In Court by His
Little Victims Brother.


HASTINGS, Neb, March 21.-Dr. G. W.
Randall, of this city, was arrested last
Wednesday night for committing rape upon
the person of Lora Hart, of Edgar, an Ii
year-oid girl, who was placed under his care
for treatment. The crime was committed
one week ago, and Saturday the doctor was
placed on trial. just after his trial had been
closed and Randall had been placed undel
S., 600 bonds, the brother of the girl pulled
out revolver, and before any person was
aware If his intention shot Randall dead.
He then turned, walked out of the court
room, and disappeared. and no person has
taken the trouble to look for him, as the
shooting is locke upon as justifable
From the evidence produced, it appears as
though Eaniull and his wife, who was on
trial with iiiIn, had made it practice to ruin
young girls and then place them in houses of
ill-flme. Mrs Randall is now in the custody
of the sheriff, There was a very decided
feeling in favor of lyrching her, but better
cnunseis prevailed.

known man entered through the kitchen
door, and procuring two large cans of gaso-
line saturated the carpet and furniture, and
then entered Mrs. Fauble's bedroom and
poured the fluid over the bod clothes, to
which he set fire and departed, closing the
door after him Mrs. Fauble was awakened
blythe flames, and rushed out of the room,
also closing the door, thus confirming the fire
to her room and probably saving the life of
her daughter The flames were extinguished
before any serious loss of property was in

William Hammond Hall, the. State Engin
eer, who has had years of experience in land
and water in California, after full exami
nation of the Rancho Ex-Mission of San Fer
nando, reports TO the owners of the prope ry,
the Porter Land and Water Company, as fol
lows: "You have 10000 to IL 900 acres
and perhaps more, of really first-rate valley
lands for cultivation, with soils not to be sur
passed for fertility and desirability by those
of any section; lying very favorably for irri'
CATION and in neighborhood whose climate
is well adapted to thei best class of agrieul-
tural horticultural and vineyard productions
usual in this country" Mr.. Hall has been
employed by the company to devise COM
plete plan for the irrigation of the tract with
the waters flowing from San Fernando, Syca'
more and Pacoima creeks and from the i'm.
mense cienegas located upon the ranch, and
the public may expect the finest water sys-
TEN in California upon this property. Office,

building, corner First and Spring streets. A

Successful EnterpriSe.

Every man or woman who purchased stock
in the oompanies--who are selling the Wolf
skill, Porter, Providencia, and other large
ranchos, will acknowledge that they never
made better OF safer investments. The de-
mand for good land is so great that all large
ranchos that are bought at any reasonable
price, will certainly bring to the purchasers
an immense return on their investmest The
same enterprising gentlemen who are so sue
cessfully managing the ranches above men.
toned, have been fortunate enough to secure
IL 900 acres of the best land in the famous
Lankershim Ranch in the San Fernando Val
ley, only eight miles from Los Angeles.
The syndicate who purchased this fine
property, are about to form company to
own, and subdivide, and sell this 10000
acres. The first purchasers of stock will get
the land at S65 per acre by subscribing for
the stock at 800 per share on very easy
terms.
The sale of stock will begin Tuesday, Au-
gust 2ne, at the offices of BYRAM & POIN-
DEXTER, 27 West First Street, and BURCH
& B0AL, 1876 West First Street.
The names of Dan Mcfarland, L. T. Garn-
sey, F. T. Garbutt, S. B. Hunt, S. W. Luit-
weller, C. J. Ellis, Clifford Evans, r. p.
Shaw, f. A. Forester, and others who are
connected with this enterprise, are a suffi-
cient guarantee of its good faith and success

subtropical to the temperate zones.
While this county is as little adapted
to growing bananas at profit as
the northern and central counties are
to making commercial success of the
growth of oranges, our people can even,
in specially favored spots, success
fully grow the tropical products. OF
the large area of lands in Los Angeles
county at least eight hundred thous-
and acres are capable of yielding the
most remunerative staples sold in the
markets of the world. The region
anywhere ON the globe where the
orange and other citrus fruits can be
grown to perfection is quite limited.
Within the boundaries of the United
States it is notably so. An orange
grove here is specially profitable,
lille vineyard is scarcely less so.
The pecuniary returns in the ordinary
lines of farming are quite satisfactory
here. With from six to eight
crops of clover annually, and with
bottom lands which yield a
hundred bushels of corn to
the acre, why should there not be an
eager competition for these lands? 1t
requires very little sagacity to see that
Los Angeles county will some day,
before the close of the current CEN
tury, be producing and selling to the
outside world seventy-fve or eighty
million dollars worth of her products
yearly.
And why should not Los Angeles be
great commercial center? The
stretch of a whole continent lies be-
hind her, and on better lines of COM
mercial barter than attach to San
Francisco. This city is already a
quite respectable trade center, and is
destined to advance on these lines
with tremendous rapidity. Our great
oil deposits likewise assure us emf
nence as manufacturing center.
To wind up hurried review of the
causes which are irresistibly advanc-
ing this city to metropolitan status it
is only necessary to note the fact that
Los Angeles is the second railway
center in the United States. This
whole region is gridironed with steel
rails and already seventy-five trains
day, comprising fully one thousand
cars, make day and night hideous
with the screech of the iron horse en-
tering and departing from our city. Ii
we had Union depot in Los Angeles,
San Francisco would be distanced SO
far in the display made in the railway
line that no one would think of insti-
tuting comparison between the two
places.
Last, but not least, Los Angeles is
the beneficiary OF the distinctively
American doctrine that nothing sue
ceeds like success. Horsepower, as
developed and condensed by all the
resources of steam, could not hold her
back, and the people know it, and
want some of the prosperity that lies
all ahead of the winsome burg and
county.TE Children cry for their share
and grown people clamor for it, with
out regard to age, sex or previous con-
dition of incertitude. The difference
between San Francisco and Los An
geles is that the one has consummated
much of her possibilities, while those
of the other are yet to be attained.
We would add, to employ somewhat
eotyped California phrase, And
that's what's the matter with Han
nah"
